Ruud Gullit outside a cafe in Amsterdam, Zola, Leboef, Joe Hart, Ronnie Whelan and Ben Pearson at various airports and Steve Nicol and Jan Molby opening a pet shop in Weston Coyney! Only spoke to Gullit, lovely chap. I didn't know Nichol and Molby owned a pet shop in Weston Coyney. You live and learn.

He’s definitely not amazing, distinct lack of output for an attacking FB, can’t say about potential as I haven’t knowingly seen him play but someone thought he was worth £6M once so there should be something there.

Villa thought Wesley was worth 22 million and there was definitely nothing there I don’t know I don’t recall seeing him play fit and healthy pre injury. Even that thing that turned up at Stoke had great strength so that was something he just couldn’t run or jump.

Even that thing that turned up at Stoke had great strength so that was something he just couldn’t run or jump. He looked a decent player from what I saw of him. A bit of a Benteke. You could tell he would have been a right handful. Unfortunately the injury killed his career.

Villa thought Wesley was worth 22 million and there was definitely nothing there You don’t get a full cap for Brazil as a teenager without being a real player. He also scored a Prem hat-trick for Villa shortly before his injury. Unfortunately we got him post-injury and he was used badly when he did feature for us. He’ll never reach the heights his early career promised but I hope he finds a club where he’s used well and can play and contribute regularly.

Villa thought Wesley was worth 22 million and there was definitely nothing there Wesley was fantastic before he signed for Villa and Villa fans loved him as he doing well then he got that real nasty injury which not only ruined his career but seemingly a chunk of his life as well based on what he said he went through.

Has anyone ever seen Wayne Thomas out and about? Wayne Thomas being from Cheltenham used to do his drinking there particularly when he shouldn’t have been drinking close to match day. (allegedly)

Number of years ago I was in Emirates Business Lounge when an almightly commotion broke out. This little guy was making straight for where I was sitting shouting down the phone. He looked at me I looked at him and I thought this is going to be messy!!! Staff steered him to another area thankfully. Thats how close I got to Diego Maradona!!!! Wife was reading a paper, glanced up & said "Who was that load mouth" & carried on reading paper after I told her. Seriously scary bloke. were you legitimately trying to keep a ball out of the net? That sort of thing really used to wind him up

Met Chris Iwelumo at the Nantwich Jazz Festival the year we got relegated from the Prem. Same day we lost to Arsenal away. He was convinced we'd stay up!

Was quite concerned for his welfare something has obviously not gone well on the repair front. Maybe better to pack it in instead of making matters worse, I’m sure he can afford to.

Please tell me he was wearing black and white spatz dancing shoes a bright orange zoot suit and looked like the mouse in noustie profile pic?

(allegedly) Saw Wayne Thomas in Ibiza the summer we got promotion back to the Champo after the play off final win. He was smoking and tried to deny it was him initially but we managed to talk him round and he started singing Cotterills praises as it was at the point he'd just replaced Gudjon. Albeit, I think Thomas was only using the fact that Cotterill was from Cheltenham as the basis of his evidence for saying he'd be sound!

He had a great smile and looked like he was enjoying every minute so I felt so sorry for him that it didn't work out and for the abuse he received from fans. When he played in a Schumacher team you could see he had taken on board what was required and tried his best to carry out his instructions, just wasn't able to run or press to any effect. Not his fault.

I see players I like the look of vs us but they could be shit most of the rest of the time.

I don't think anyone can top Maradona on the phone
I saw Oliver Bierhoff in the Lufthansa lounge at Frankfurt airport paying himself a pint.
Not that exciting

Well perhaps I can!!! I was at Royal Lytham on practice days for the British Open golf. I was changing some tickets, (but that's another story). I was heading towards the hospitality tents accross the car park by club house. Now 1st tee is in said car park. I had my head down into a howling gale when I met a group of cameramen walking backwards. They parted for me and I crashed into none other than Tiger Woods, kicking him on the ankle in the process. Bless him he apologised to me!!! On first day of tournament Peter Allis was commentating as Tiger lost his ball in the rough. Peter said "Poor old Tiger lost his ball and limping badly after a collision with a spectator!!! Poor lad was never the same again!!
